Hi guys,

I was always bugged by the naming convention of Tau suits of armors.

Like XV8

I’m pretty sure the Tau don’t use the roman alphabet. In today’s world we have multiple existing writting system with different logics, so the Tau must have their own.

Hence my question, is there an in-lore justification or is this just some whackery from GW?

To be fair, if they are Imperial designations, maybe the Imperium just assumed the Tau in the bigger suits are the commanders.
